Monday morning Eugenics.

To learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

"Early eugenicists were mostly concerned with perceived intelligence factors that often correlated strongly with social class. Many eugenicists took inspiration from the selective breeding of animals (where purebreds are often strived for) as their analogy for improving human society."

Jeanette said...: Ok, wtf are steel cut oats??? I buy just regular ole Quaker Oats. What the hell are you guys talking about? If they take so much longer to cook, why not just get the Quaker?; March 1, 2010 at 12:12 AM
Heather said...: i see my fellow oopsie daisies are getting blasted all over the place. have you all been acting up? no, i know you're not...but between lyrics and BF and shannon's blog, it looks like y'all are being chased through hell with gasoline underwear on. what the heck is up with people?

and yes, i have broken my BF detox-briefly just to try and figure out what the big to-do is. i'm incognito though. but i think i'm pretty obvious.

sigh...same old, same old. young impressionable girls fiercely protecting their idol and some older women that i'm guessing would benefit greatly by some antipsychotic meds.

if i'm missing anything, care to offer a recap of highlights?

and i have missed the conversations here. y'all rock.; March 1, 2010 at 12:20 AM
Heather said...: Jeanette, I'm with you...but I kinda like the quick and easy flavored packets. Probably not at all healthy. Does it help that I make them with whole milk?; March 1, 2010 at 12:21 AM
Lisa said...: I'm still here.

Jeanette, steel cut oats are...hmmm...more like Grapenuts cereal than Quaker oats in size, shape and taste. And not exactly that, even, but that's the best I can explain them. They're very good but, for me, not worth the extra work.

Hi there, Heather! So we're being talked about, are we? I reckon we're a rebellious lot with our talk of steel cut oats, crockpotting, babies and hockey. Damn us to hell.; March 1, 2010 at 12:28 AM

I'm really going now...I'm dog tired.; March 1, 2010 at 12:32 AM
Jeanette said...: Heather!!! I was thinking about you earlier today!

I like the flavored packets too! Toss em in the microwave, add some sugar and milk, and chow down.

Thanks for explaining AP. I think I'll stick to the easy way out, lol. I do like grape nuts cereal though. When you come cook for me you'll have to make me some of the steel cut;); March 1, 2010 at 12:36 AM
Heather said...: people who molest children can be rehabbed and saved? WTH? um no.

and who in any good conscience would make a child reunite with some monster who hurt them like that? i can not even imagine.

fortunately i have not had any problems like that in my family, but i do have a person close to me who's father is in prison for such crimes. the person hopes he dies a long, painful, death. so no, you don't encourage a child to reunite.

not too forget, i've seen shows with predators who will straight up tell you that there is no rehabbing them.

nasty. glad i didn't see that convo. and why oh why would anyone say such crap?; March 1, 2010 at 12:40 AM
Jeanette said...: Gah.. I didn't want to get into this, but I'm going to anyway.

I read the thread. I don't think JM was saying that a molester *should* be forgiven, I think she was saying they *can* be. I would never forgive someone for touching my girls. Never. I think that anyone who touches a child deserves to rot in hell. So I'm not saying that I even think they *can* be forgiven. I'm just saying I think that is what JM was meaning. I didn't get from her posts that she thought the mother should try to save the marriage, she just thinks it is possible for the molester to be forgiven by God and then if the mother wanted to save the marriage, it could happen.

When I first saw mention of the thread it sounded like she had said even if a child was molested, the mother should try and save the marriage. After reading it, I didn't get that impression. That's just me though. You would have to read it yourself and draw your own opinion.; March 1, 2010 at 12:47 AM
Shana said...: Hello friends! Guess everyone has gone to bed??

I'm a little late, but Jeanette, that is what I got from it as well. That JM was just saying that God forgives & some people are able to work through the situation with the proper counseling. Not that she would or could.

Steel cut outs...I have googled & read blogs about them. It seems like a lot of trouble & I would be worried if I had under/overcooked them.; March 1, 2010 at 1:00 AM
Lisa said...: *hides face*

I'm still up. Can someone post a link so I can read what she said?; March 1, 2010 at 1:02 AM
Muliebrity said...: A lot of us have migrated to a brand new blog frog opened by that saucy little SIF. We are having fun over there! It's like what happens when the teacher leaves the classroom.; March 1, 2010 at 1:09 AM
Shana said...: It's an 8 page thread on BF, AP. She even said that even if you forgive the person that legally they wouldn't be allowed to be around the child anyways. She went on to say that God doesn't want us to stay in abusive relationship's, but basically God forgive's & with the proper counseling *some people may be able to work past it.

It was really just all in how you interpreted it.; March 1, 2010 at 1:10 AM
Muliebrity said...: Shana, Go back and read page 1.; March 1, 2010 at 1:11 AM
Shana said...: Ok...going now =0); March 1, 2010 at 1:14 AM
Jeanette said...: I saw that SIF had started a community. I was telling Shana earlier that her avatar reminds me so much of Jessica Spano from Saved by the Bell! lol!; March 1, 2010 at 1:15 AM
Muliebrity said...: SIF is too sweet to poke fun at! But I'm going back to look at it again...; March 1, 2010 at 1:18 AM
Shana said...: Are you talking about where she says that *all marriages can be saved? If so, that was said before the molestation issue was brought up. She also said in that same statement "if abuse or infidelity or any dangerous behavior is happening" to get out.

As I said, it is how you want to interpret it. I don't think for one minute that even if this is how she thinks, that she would be dumb enough to post it. Too much is being read into it.; March 1, 2010 at 1:23 AM
Muliebrity said...: keep reading....; March 1, 2010 at 1:24 AM
Heather said...: Thanks for the clarification about JM and forgiveness. It's so very hard. I couldn't imagine something happening to my girls. It would be impossible for me to forgive something like that. God can though. Me, I'm human and imperfect. And I am thankful for forgiveness.

But it does make me think about sin in general and how to God it is believed that all sin is created equal...lying, coveting, murder. Or atleast that is what I've been told. Hard for me to understand and accept.; March 1, 2010 at 1:26 AM
Jeanette said...: Mulie, are you talking about what I said about her avatar? I wasn't poking fun at all! I think Elizabeth Berkley(Jessica Spano) is beautiful, I meant it as a compliment.; March 1, 2010 at 1:26 AM
Muliebrity said...: she was on a slippery slope, but I think she pulled herself out of it enough. She should just posted her true feelings first instead of trying to be biblical about it.; March 1, 2010 at 1:27 AM
Muliebrity said...: I know! I am just paranoid and I hate that. Been a rough weekend and I should probably just let it end.; March 1, 2010 at 1:30 AM
Shana said...: Well, as someone that had horrible things done to them & a mother that stayed for longer than she should have...I'm done reading & definitely wouldn't be defending her if I thought that is what she meant. I'm done reading.; March 1, 2010 at 1:30 AM
Jeanette said...: I think that is just how she talks, Mulie. She tries to be upbeat and positive about everything. I used to read a lot of her stuff out of context, and would get real fired up about some things. I guess just after talking with her in email, I am better than I was at understanding what she means from what she says.; March 1, 2010 at 1:31 AM
Muliebrity said...: upbeat is exactly the way to describe it, Jeanette. I like Jennifer. We have had some positive interactions. I headed over here when the freaks started to come out on BF and I was getting frustrated.; March 1, 2010 at 1:40 AM
Muliebrity said...: Peace out. Just had my skype session with the husband and now I just might be off to bed.; March 1, 2010 at 1:49 AM
Jeanette said...: I posted to Blogfrog today and I can honestly say it was maybe the 3rd time I have posted in almost a year. I am not real interested in religious debate, and prefer this kind of forum than ones like the BF where I have to jump from post to post. I talk with JM via email, and she isn't real active on the BF anyway. The only reason I posted today was to defend this site and Shannon, then I stuck around and posted to a few more topics. I probably won't post there again for another few months, unless of course I am "quoted" again.; March 1, 2010 at 1:50 AM
Jeanette said...: Good night Mulie!; March 1, 2010 at 1:51 AM

Shana said...: Hey Shannon!

Sorry, I stepped away & now everyone is gone to bed! Guess I'm gone as well. *See you all in the morning =0); March 1, 2010 at 2:35 AM
PJ said...: Morning - dog woke me up too early.

AP - that video woke me up even more, in a hurry. You like to be a lightning rod, don't you?

My take on the BF all marriages can be fixed crap is that, once again, Jennifer came out, guns a blazing, but has never had gun safety training.

She shoots her mouth off, making really difficult situations seem cut and dried. When people start saying she's full of it, she spends time sticking to her original, uneducated and uninformed opinion.

She just can't say she's wrong, or that she didn't consider different situations, that maybe she didn't think through it, or understand the complexity of her simplistic perspective.

Shoots herself in the foot, and then tries to pretend she's not bleeding like a stuck pig.

I'd be embarrassed for her, except she's old enough to know better and learn from her previous ignorant opinions. Or maybe not.; March 1, 2010 at 6:43 AM
PJ said...: As far as steel cut oats - definitely worth the little bit of extra time. Cook a batch while you're making dinner. Toast the chopped pecans then too (not too high a heat).

Put them in the frig and just reheat a single serving in the morning (1 minute, just like the instant stuff). Defrost a 1/4 cup of frozen berries (takes about a minute too).; March 1, 2010 at 6:46 AM

Hi CK! Sorry about the dog! How are you this am?

It is pouring (is that how you spell that, looks wrong) out! Good times.

LM woke up at 4:45 and then it took me another 45 minutes to get back to sleep and then the alarm went off.

Off to get ready!; March 1, 2010 at 7:22 AM

I got some things done this weekend - and feel a litle less like a lazy bum as a result.

Pouring - looks okay to me (the spelling that is, not the rain).

Ann- I believe in God. I also believe that He has chosen to give men free-will and has decided not to get involved in their lives. Bad things happen because people make choices and sometimes, bad - terrible, even- things happen for no reason at all.
I despise 'Prosperity theology'. I also think that the people who adhere to this doctrine are mostly blessed in life. If they were to be hit by cancer or another atrocious life event, I'm convinced they would be detered from accepting such a simplistic, dualistic theology.; March 1, 2010 at 11:15 AM

Lisa said...: Okay, I read what JM said on BF. She's is definitely saying that any marriage can be saved if both parties want to make the necessary changes, which I agree with in most situations, but she does also say this:

"Okay, I know I said I'd try to stay out of the molestation thing because I have not been there, but the more I think about it (I hadn't much before tonight), the more I am with those of you who say forgiveness is great, but that guy wouldn't ever, ever come near my kids again."

I'm not having any complaints over anything she's said there. She made some statements without thinking about all of the possible situations and when given those situations, revised what she said a bit. Fair enough.; March 1, 2010 at 11:23 AM

So my take on JM's response on BF...She replied with her head in her ass once again thinking the focus was all on her and HER marriage....forgetting to see that sometimes other people are married too. When she realized that it wasnt all about her the lightbulb went off and she corrected herself.

Now as for God and forgiveness....My husband, or anyone, touches my kids and guess what? God can forgive them all he wants to....come near them ever again and I will blow your fucking head off!!!!!; March 1, 2010 at 11:30 AM

Shannon said...: Have you guys ever seen the movie Hard Candy? That movie is freaking awesome....I think all child molesters should have to watch it. It is about a girl who hooks up with this man online, she is like 14 I think he is in his 30's. Well little does he know but she knows exactly who and what he is and commences in some serious mind games with him....I think it is the same girl who played Juno?; March 1, 2010 at 11:34 AM

Do you like her novels?; March 1, 2010 at 11:56 AM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: Shannon:

Sounds like you read "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer.

Corinne, she's a transgressive writer in the vein of Chuck Pahlanik (author of "Fight Club" and, if gore is your thing, "Haunted"). I read Music for Torching, as well as some of her other work, but I think her purpose is to shock, rather than entertain. And, for me, that gets old.; March 1, 2010 at 11:59 AM

Bd- I don't like shocking for the sole purpose of shocking, either. I guess I'll give it a try and see what I think of it.; March 1, 2010 at 12:03 PM

Anonymous said...: Bd- I definitely know what you mean. I understand shocking if it forces the reader to 'dig deeper'. Otherwise, I just don't see the point.

For me, it's the same with movies. Lars Von Trier is a director I don't like for this very reason. One of his latest movies, Antichrist, is filled with extreme violence and shocks the viewer a.lot. All of it is pointless though. You just don't see where he is going. That is the only time in my life I actually left the theater long before the end of the movie. And I was not alone in my disgust.; March 1, 2010 at 12:12 PM
Jeanette said...: Morning everyone. Well, I guess it's afternoon. Whatever, it's f'n Monday.

Shannon, I saw Hard Candy. Kickass movie, and yes, she played in Juno. I watched both of those movies the same night actually.

I read all 3 of the series that started with A Child Called It. Heart wrenching books.

Don't mind me everyone. I just came to snort a daisy and scroll up and down a few times. I'm hoping the buzz will give me the energy to get off my ass and clean.; March 1, 2010 at 12:15 PM

Robin in Montana said...: I can report her, yes, Kristin. But she's just not-smart-enough that she friended me on FB (at my request.) He ended up at that firm on my recommendation since I used to work there. I referred him to my old boss, who is a partner, and a killer divorce attorney. Unfortuantely, he's retiring, "of counsel" only and Kelly got the obligatory new hire associate.

She talks a good game and we inititally decided he should stay with that firm, thinking Bruce (my old boss) would (since they said he would) be working with her. She's so busy "proving" herself that she doesn't bring things to him when she should, and when she does, doesn't give him the whole story enough for him to really advise her well.

I've caught her in a ton of things that she misses on parenting plan/settlement documents and she always gets pissed. Today, she forwards their offer to Kelly, which includes a long letter of explanation from teh other attorney as to why they are requesting certain items and why things are left blank here or there on the forms. When Kelly calls her to go over it, she says, "I'm not sure what she's trying to pull with doing X." And Kelly points out they're not trying to "pull anything" that they have in fact given the reason in the LETTER they wrote. @@

Just that kind of thing.

I think at this point, it's not a fair settlement. However, it's not an ass-rape, either, and short of cutting thousands of dollars already spent on Barbie Matlock loose and starting over, which would inevitably mean a trial, he's better off to take this settlement and be done. The things they are haggling over are not so huge that they will impact him or us for the rest of our life. They will make a hit on us right now for sure, but the next thing will be a trial and that will be thousands more, so ... best to make the decision to fish and not cut bait. Or whatever. :-D

I do plan on writing (for him) a very long letter to the partners in that firm (with references to her non-totally-private FB page wherein she is seen dressed as a penis for Halloween and many, many times totally, totally sloshed) detailing what I see as her lack of professionalism, her lack of committment to her clients, her lack of ability to read documents submitted by other attorneys, comprehend them, and then offer advice and rebuttal in the best interest of her client, and her failure to decipher basic legal documents or retain basic details of a case from contac to contact. :-D; March 1, 2010 at 1:58 PM
